1 Corinthians 7:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² It is my wish that you be free of all anxieties. An unmarried man devotes himself to the Lord’s affairs and is concerned as to how he can please the Lord. ³³ However, a man who is married devotes himself to worldly matters and is concerned about how he can please his wife, ³⁴ and his interests are divided. In the same way, an unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the affairs of the Lord and strives to be holy in both body and spirit, whereas the married woman is concerned about worldly matters and how she may please her husband.
